Saket Court Staffer Jumps To Death Citing Work Pressure

Anil Basoya, secretary of Saket court, told news agency ANI, "At around 10 AM, we received the news that our court staff member, Ahlmad Harish, had jumped from a floor. He is in serious condition, and it is likely that he may not survive. He has written a suicide note, in which he cites work pressure as the reason. The entire Bar Association is also standing with the court staff. We are here to demand justice for Harish."

In a separate news, a 61-year-old litigant fighting a court battle over property dispute died by suicide in the Shivajinagar court premises. The deceased, police said, jumped off from the third floor of the new building.

Senior police inspector Mahesh Bolkotgi of Shivajinagar police station said that the 61-year-old had been involved in a long-pending legal dispute over his ancestral property. His father had sold the land in the 1990s without his consent, prompting him to challenge the sale in court.
